What impressed you positively?

"Facilities are great." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"My interviewers made it pretty difficult to connect with them personally. It didn't really seem like a "casual" conversation with me. I felt like one of my interviewers was almost...bothered by my presence at times. I know that at other schools, it felt much less like an interrogation. I'm not the type of person who gets frazzled easily though, so I don't think it affected me too much; but it would've been nice to have been felt a little more warmth." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"That the talk with representatives from the combined degree programs was not a formal presentation. I was sitting in the room while the rep for the MD/MPH was talking to a group of students in the corner. I ran to the restroom right beforehand, so I guess I missed the initial announcement." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"One of my interviewers was pretty cold. I couldn't get her to smile at all; she seemed to be staring pretty blankly at me the whole time. The other interviewer was a bit more engaging, but seemed particularly eager to challenge me--I didn't necessarily find that to be off-putting because I appreciated the opportunity to defend my positions on certain points, but it seemed a bit aggressive at times. The staff was otherwise friendly, and the space was comfortable. The tour guides were great, and genuinely seemed willing to answer any questions we had. They also seemed to be very happy at (and with) Tufts." Report Response
